#970 Over 300 Billion Sold!

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY. LET’S NOT FORGET WHAT WE’RE CELEBRATING TODAY. TAKE A MOMENT AND THINK ABOUT THE SACRIFICES THAT ALLOW US LIVE FREE IN THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD

We know high cholesterol, clogged arteries, and obesity will kill, yet Mcdonald’s has sold over 300 BILLION hamburgers.

Before you get all bent out of shape about how an occasional hamburger is OK or that you’re not a rabbit, let me tell you that this post has nothing to do with diets, exercise, or veganism.  

It’s about you. It’s about hitting your goals. It’s about finding success. You know exactly what to do, so why aren’t you doing it? 

If you’ve got to find more business, can you argue that you will find more opportunity if you make 100 calls per week than if you make 10? 

So why did you make only 50?  

  • Offices are closed. It’s a waste of time.

  • People hide behind voice mail; you can’t get anyone.

  • No one calls back, no matter how many messages you leave.

  • You had a massive project to do.

  • “You can’t imagine the amount of other work I have.”

  • You had to deal with client issues.

  • You get too many emails you must respond to.

  • You have to be active on social media to promote your brand.

  • People don’t answer their cell phones because of spam calls.

  • No one responds to your emails.

  • “I am making very few but very strategic calls.

  • THE DOG ATE MY HOMEWORK…

I don’t know which of these lies you sold yourself or if you made up another one that is easier for you to swallow, but if you did ten instead of 100+, you convinced yourself that it made sense somehow, and it doesn’t.

Are there techniques, strategies, and higher percentage prospects to call? Yes. 

Do you need more training?  Yes.

Are there people out there to learn from? Yes. Are there seminars, books, podcasts, coaches, webinars, and training classes? Of course.  

There are only two components to success, working and learning. Don’t shirk on the work part while you continue on the learning part.

You know what to do.

Own Your Sales Gene…
